Life: Soul Search

I guess it's been a while since I've written about myself or of my future plans...

and to tell you the truth I don't know where to begin...

I don't like to publicize my life and talk about my fears and future projects but for some odd reason I feel the need to express these things with my faithful readers.

My life hasn't been the most organized and it might sound silly but whenever I notice that my room starts to be cluttered and chaotic... I mentally start feeling the same...

And I'm currently in a moment of my life in which I have to decide what is the best for me...

Some people think that my life is easy...

because I live at home and I'm not committed to anyone or anything but at the same time

I have to make choices on my own and it's not like I'm living a princess life..(if you know what I mean)

Since the age of 16 I've been working, studying and seeking my passion. I don't complain about work because although sometimes it can be tough; I've learned so many things... And I feel very fortunate to have been able to exert my design skills in the work field... But after a year of working in industrial design I feel the weight of my passion telling me to go deeper into my true dreams.

After high school I took the habit to write down everything that I want and the things I would like to achieve...it helps me to keep track of what is really important... (it also helps me not to forget things...)

Right now these are some of the "duties" that I'm working on...

With so much time in hand it's hard to decide what to do and so many ideas burst in my mind...

As you may all know by now... fashion is my passion and reading fashion books never get me bored...

Sewing... Sewing...

My poor sewing machines has been sitting on my desk for the past year.. just accumulating dust and it hasn't been put to good use...But I really hope to go back to my "sewing skills"...

My magazines have been my best friends!!! Always keeping it fresh and constantly reminding me that my dream is still alive...

For a really long time I was planning to take these pictures... I like to be known as a fashion eater...

fashion keeps me full and in shape! It's my fashion diet... a bit of tea and a bowl of fruits!... Honestly fashion keeps me living and I'm not letting it go...

I've met so many people that are my age or older and are clueless of what their passion is...

and all of them tell me that my life is easy because I know what I want...

But to tell you the truth it doesn't get easier once you know it...

Passion is like a baby... you have to feed it... take care of it... and let it grow...

before you know it your passion will be walking on its two legs and wanting more from you...

My passion is still crawling and growing but I have hopes that it will take its first steps...

Passion is a question of time and opportunities... Grasp everything that can come to you...

I use to blame my parents for not letting me study fashion design... but now I'm truly thankful for their advice...

When I finished high school I wanted to make the jump and go into fashion design but instead I studied product design... and the first year was literally hell but fortunately I liked it enough to complete it...

After completing my degree I thought that I could go into fashion design but again my parents told me to maybe put into good use my degree and gain experience in the field...and so I did...

and now that I've in a way "satisfied" my parents... I'm free...

I use to really complain about their advice but the more grow the more I understand everything that they've said to me... They have always been very supportive about my dreams and future plans...

And now that I'm in some lalaland time frame they still understand me and are given me time to decide my next jump...I'm currently working on my blog as you can see... and I'm also getting more involved in the social media platform... and I'm truly happy to see that my life in fashion is slowly growing...

All I can say about my future plans is that it's a recipe that includes the following:

1. A full hand of Shoes

2.The New York island

3. An FIT factory

4. $$

5. and as always a dash of dreams...

It might seem a bit confusing but once it takes more shape I'll let you know what it's all about!
